THE CAST OF IMPACT DANCE
Our dance teachers are highly experienced and passionate about teaching dance. They have years of training and performance experience in a variety of styles and techniques, including breaking (or breakdance), musical theatre, hip-hop, contemporary, jazz, tap, ballet and more.
At IMPACT Dance Complex, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students. Our staff are certified in CPR and first-aid, are educated in youth development and they undergo regular background checks to ensure a safe environment for every one of our dancers.
We offer classes for students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced dancer, our dance teachers will help you improve your technique, learn new choreography, and develop your artistry.
Our dance classes are designed to be both challenging and fun. Our dance teachers create a positive and supportive environment where students can feel comfortable expressing themselves and taking risks.
In addition to our regular dance classes, we also offer private lessons with our dance teachers. These one-on-one sessions are a great way to receive personalized attention and feedback as you work to reach your dance goals.
